DISCUSSION:
The California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and the California Workforce Development Board created the Regional Equity and Recovery Partnerships (RERP) program. The RERP supports regional workforce planning and implementation of those plans with a focus on developing industry sector strategies and establishing career pathways into the selected industries.
The Orange Workforce Alliance (OWA), composed of the workforce boards for the City of Anaheim (City), City of Santa Ana, and County of Orange, was awarded $1,300,000 in RERP funding. The County of Orange serves as the administrative and fiscal entity for the OWA and is making a subaward of $572,947.10 to the City.
The City will use these funds to establish and facilitate implementation of regional workforce development goals and objectives; develop regional strategies, policies, and programs as part of regional planning and infrastructure development; convene and sponsor activities that promote employer engagement, especially those in in-demand industry sectors; and strengthen relationships with community colleges in furthering the development of talent pipelines and promising career pathways.
